Glitches out

Customer service and Billing

I am very disappointed with my experience using Encircle.

When I signed up, I was not fully aware of several additional fees that would be charged beyond the monthly subscription. Recently, I began receiving invoices for floor plan services and other charges that were not clearly communicated during the sales process. As a small restoration company, unexpected fees can have a significant impact on operating costs.

My biggest concern is the lack of transparency regarding pricing. What initially appeared to be a straightforward service became much more expensive once additional charges started appearing. I also feel locked into a contract that does not provide the flexibility I expected.

The software itself has potential, but companies should be upfront about all costs associated with their platform before customers commit. Clear communication and transparent pricing would go a long way toward improving the customer experience.

Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering Encircle to carefully review the contract terms and ask detailed questions about any additional fees before signing up.

super slow, can’t work

« bug fixes »🙄

the only thing i hate about my job is dealing with this app

Great program

We have used Encircle for about 4 years now. They keep adding great features needed by restorers. They are also open to suggestions and will do what they can to add features.

Poor functionality

Constantly crashing and I’m spending more time waiting between functions, example when taking pictures I can count to thirty from when I touch the camera button till it wakes up and takes the picture, or it will crash and I have to restart the process.

Used to be a Great inventory tracking app

Great way to keep track of all your stuff, with receipts & pics, serial numbers, etc!

Update: the company just removed access to the home inventory feature with minimal notice and didn’t provide data backup.

New update

The newest update and how you do box number is inconvenient. Change it back

Customer support

I was having issues with the sync function and contacted customer support. Liz was amazing. She was able to resolve my issues. I appreciate receiving help from a real person.

Worst app I’ve ever used

Your app is trash, if it can’t take decent photos and keep files saved instead of wiping data you should just give up now before you piss anyone else off
Trash.

Was good then update ruined it

Please listen to your users because clearly you do not use your own app out in the field. The app was finally working a week ago. Then you updated and completely changed the UI in the app and added multiple steps just to add a reading. Now I can’t add equipment that was working a week ago either. The app was fine and now it’s not. Change it back

Great app

I introduced my company to this app and everyone loves it. I am really hoping to see a couple of features added. I would like the ability to create a such and add people on it. I would also like to be able to tag someone in a note and have it notify them. It would be so helpful. In addition, if I could automatically tag a coworker when mitigation is completed so they can start the rebuild process that would be awesome. And possibly an AI feature that automatically inserts information for non salvage contents. Overall this app is a time saver and has been well built.

Bug when adding to organization

Sometimes while trying to add new equipment to the organization the list is showing only air movers, even when trying to add air scrubbers and dehumidifiers.

Unbelievably slow

The entire process is great up until adding equipment in jobs. It will not respond to anything at all. Can’t leave the page, can’t find the equipment, can’t type anything. It is not just me everyone in my company is tired of encircle for this very reason.

Zero

Terrible. If I could give zero stars I would.

Don’t waste your time

Worked OK at first so I’ve spent hours cataloging and uploading photos. Now there’s about 100 items/ photos that will no longer open at all, no matter how long you wait or reload or reboot. Also even when it was working my main complaint is that there’s no way to re-order or sort your lists, like alphabetically or any other way. Will continue looking for another app for my purposes, this one turned out to be garbage.

Less impressed

Our company has been using this app for years now. Worked great. Recent additions and updates to the program has slowed it down and become buggy. Technicians having to wait 30+ mins for the file to load. Not a service provider problem when multiple users are experiencing the same problem with different phones, mobile service providers, and multiple spots in the city. Pricing went way up, service went down.

Saving pictures

Who’s bright idea was it to make you save a picture before you can take the next picture ? I spend countless hours now taking photos when it used to take me a couple minutes…. 👎🏽

Be Careful!

After the 2 week trial I moved forward with the month to month because I had high hopes. Unfortunately encircle didn’t perform as I hoped and I found a program more suitable for my work. I contacted Encircle team to see if they would work with me because I only used for a month and they refuse to waive any contract and I have to pay 3k for a app that is unorganized and doesn’t meet expectations. I would warn any company against doing business with this company.

Rigid rules, no flexibility

Only allows me 1 photo per item. What the Christ. Instant delete.
